The PC 45 Corn Stove makes burning corn more convenient than ever. It’s special Sidewinder Burn Pot

allows corn to be burned from three days up to a week without cleaning, depending on the corn’s moisture

level and burn rate.

Automatic Ignition allows you to fill the hopper, set your desired room temperature and walk away. The PC

45 will adjust it’s feed rate based on the temperatures received by the room sensor, and keep your home

at the set temperature.

The PC 45’s automatic temperature control system eliminates the warm/cold cycle associated with ther-

mostatically controlled heating systems and even turns the PC 45 on and off as needed.

Our exclusive Accordion Heat Exchanger and Air Cooled Combustion Blower allows the PC 45 to produce

maximum heat without creating high exhaust temperatures. The Outside Air option can increase heat

efficiency even more.

The PC 45 can burn corn with moisture levels up to 16%, with 14.5% or less being ideal. It can also burn

pellets regardless of ash content. This allows you to buy lower cost fuel and still achieve the same results.

Installing

Place the stove on a noncombustible floor protec-

tor that extends 6 inches to the front, 6 inches to the

sides and 1 inch to the rear of the stove. The minimum

floor protector material is 24 gauge sheet metal.

Place the stove away from combustible walls at least

as far as shown in figures 6,7 & 8. Please note the differ-

ence in side wall clearance with and without side shields.

Note that the clearances shown are minimum for

safety but do not leave much room for access when clean-

ing or servicing. Please take this into account when plac-

ing the stove.

Connect the power cord to a 120 V.A.C. 60Hz

grounded receptacle. (A surge protector is recommened

to protect the circuit board).

Prior to installing the flue pipe, connect a draft meter

to the stove as shown in fig. 9. (The draft meter must

have a minimum range of 0"- 0.5"). Turn stove to "TEST"

Mode and record the draft reading ______. After the flue

pipe is connected, check the draft reading again making

sure all doors and windows in the home are closed. If

this reading is more than.05" higher than the unconnected

reading, check for possible restrictions or the need for

outside air. (See page 8).

Mobile Home Installation

When installing this unit in a mobile home several

requirements must be followed:

1. The unit must be bolted to the floor. This can be done

with 1/4" lag screws through the 2 holes in the base plate.

2. The unit must also be connected for the outside

air. See page 8.

3. Floor protection and clearances must be followed

as shown.

4. Unit must be grounded to the metal frame of the

mobile home.

CAUTION: This appliance must be vented to the out-

side.

Due to high temperatures, the stove should be placed out of traffic

and away from furniture and draperies.

Children and adults should be alerted to the haz-

ards of high surface temperatures and should stay away

to avoid burn to skin and/or clothing.

Young children should be carefully supervised when

they are in the same room as the stove.

Clothing and other flammable materials should not

be placed on or near this unit.

Installation and repair of this Harman Stove should

be done by a qualified service person. The appliance

should be inspected before use and at least annually by a

qualified service person. More frequent cleaning will be

required. It is imperative that control compartments, burn-

ers, and circulating air passageways of the stove be kept

clean.

Venting

Requirements for Terminating the Venting

WARNING: Venting terminals must not be re-

cessed into a wall or siding.

NOTE: Only PL vent pipe wall pass-throughs

and fire stops should be used when venting through

combustible materials.

NOTE: Always take into consideration the ef-

fect the prevailing wind direction or other wind cur-

rents will cause with flyash and /or smoke when plac-

ing the termination.

In addition, the following must be observed:

A. The clearance above grade must be a mini-

mum of 18".

B. The clearance to a window or door that may

be opened must be a minimum of 48" to the side,

48" below the window/door, and 12" above the win-

dow/door.

( with outside air installed, 18” )

C. A 12" clearance to a permanently closed

window is recommended to prevent condensation

on the window.

D. The vertical clearance to a ventilated soffit

located above the terminal within a horizontal dis-

tance of 2 feet (60 cm) from the center-line of the

terminal must be a minimum of 18".

E. The clearance to an unventilated soffit must

be a minimum of 12".

F. The clearance to an outside corner is 11"

from center of pipe.

G. The clearance to an inside corner is 12".

H. A vent must not be installed within 3 feet (90

cm) above a gas meter/regulator assembly when

measured from the horizontal center-line of the regu-

lator.

I. The clearance to service regulator vent outlet

must be a minimum of 6 feet.

J. The clearance to a non-mechanical air sup-

ply inlet to the building or the combustion air inlet to

any other appliance must be a minimum of 48”.

K. The clearance to a mechanical air supply

inlet must be a minimum of 10 feet.

(with outside air installed, 6 feet )

L. The clearance above a paved sidewalk or a

paved driveway located on public property must be

a minimum of 7 feet.

1,2

M. The clearance under a veranda, porch, deck

or balcony must be a minimum of 12 inches.

1,3

NOTE: The clearance to vegetation and other

exterior combustibles such as mulch is 36” as mea-

sured from the center of the outlet or cap. This 36”

radius continues to grade or a minimum of 7 feet

below the outlet.

Certain Canadian and or Local codes or regu-

lations may require different clearances.

A vent shall not terminate directly above a side-

walk or paved driveway which is located between

two single family dwellings and serves both dwell-

ings.

Only permitted if veranda, porch, deck, or bal-

cony is fully open on a minimum of 2 sides beneath

the floor.

NOTE: Where passage through a wall, or

partition of combustible construction is desired,

HRV

When installing in a house with a Heat Reclaim-

ing Ventilation System (HRV) be sure the system is

balanced and is not creating a negative pressure in

the house.

Outside Air

Outside air is optional except in mobile homes

and where building codes require. The benefit of

outside air is mainly noticed in small very tight

houses.

To install outside air use 2 3/8" I.D. flex pipe

part number 2-00-08543. There is a break-away hole

on the rear panel which must be removed before

connecting the flex pipe. The pipe should be run out-

side and terminate 3 feet or more to the side or be-

low the vent pipe outlet. Never terminate the outside

air above the vent pipe outlet. The maximum length

run of this pipe is 15 feet. If a longer run is needed

the size must be increased to 3". Inlet cover part

number 1-10-08542 should be used to keep birds,

rodents etc.out of pipe.

Vent Pipe

Pellet venting pipe ( also known as PL vent ) is

constructed of two layers with air space between

the layers. This air space acts as an insulator and

reduces the outside surface temperature to allow a

clearance to combustibles of only 3 inches. The

sections of pipe lock together to form an air tight

seal in most cases; however, in some cases a per-

fect seal is not achieved. For this reason and the

fact that the PC45 operates with a positive vent pres-

sure we specify that the joints also be sealed

with clear silicone.

Venting

Fig. 11

A combustion blower is used to extract the com-

bustion gases from the firebox. This causes a nega-

tive pressure in the firebox and a positive pressure

in the venting system as shown in fig. 10. The longer

the vent pipe and more elbows used in the system,

the greater the flow resistance. Because of these

facts we recommend using as few elbows as pos-

sible and 15 feet or less of vent pipe. The maximum

horizontal run should not exceed 48". If more than

15 feet of pipe is needed, the diameter should be

increased from 3" to 4" because a larger pipe causes

less flow resistance. Be sure to use approved

pellet vent pipe wall and ceiling pass through

fittings to go through combustible walls and

ceilings. Be sure to use a starting collar to attach

the venting system to the stove. The starting col-

lar must be sealed to the stove with high temp

silicone caulking.

#1 Preferred method

This method provides excellent venting for nor-

mal operation and allows the stove to be installed

closest to the wall. Two inches from the wall is safe;

however, four inches allows better access to remove

the rear panel. The vertical portion of the vent should

be three to five feet high. This vertical section will

provide natural draft in the event of a power failure.

#2 Preferred method

This method also provides excellent venting for

normal operation but requires the stove to be installed

farther from the wall. The vertical portion of the vent

should be three to five feet high and at least three

inches from a combustible wall. This vertical sec-

tion will provide natural draft in the event of a power

failure.

If the stove is installed below grade the vent

termination should be at least 1 foot above grade.

CAUTION

Keep combustible materials (such as grass, leaves,

etc.) at least 3 feet away from the flue outlet on the

outside of the building.

#3 Installing into an existing

chimney ( US only )

This method provides excellent venting for nor-

mal operation. This method also provides natural

draft in the event of a power failure. If the chimney

condition is questionable you may want to install a

liner as in method #6.

#4 Installing into an existing

fireplace chimney ( US only )

This method provides excellent venting for nor-

mal operation. This method also provides natural

draft in the event of a power failure.

The damper area must be sealed with a steel

plate or fiberglass. A cap should be installed on the

chimney to keep out rain. If the chimney condition is

questionable you may want to install a liner all the

way to the top as in method #5.

#5 Installing into an existing

fireplace chimney (US and Canada)

This method provides excellent venting for nor-

mal operation. This method also provides natural

draft in the event of a power failure.

In Canada and some places in the US it is

required that the vent pipe extend all the way to the

top of the chimney.

In this method a cap should also be installed

on the chimney to keep out rain. Be sure to use

approved pellet vent pipe fittings. Seal pipe joints

with silicone in addition to the sealing system used

by the manufacturer. Pipe size should be increased

to 4" using this method.

#6 Installing into an existing

chimney ( US and Canada )

This method provides excellent venting for nor-

mal operation. This method also provides natural

draft in the event of a power failure.

In Canada and some places in the US it is re-

quired that the vent pipe extend all the way to the top

of the chimney. The pipe or liner inside the chimney

should be 4"diameter.

In this method a cap should also be installed

on the chimney to keep out rain.

13PC 45 Corn/Pellet Stove

The PC45 corn/pellet stove is more than just automatic ignition, it is also automatic temperature

control. The automatic system will allow the fire size to be adjusted to match the heating needs

and even put the fire out if necessary. If heat is needed after the fire is out, the PC 45 will

automatically re-ignite and adjust the fire size to match the heating need. The totally automatic

room sensor mode is recommended because of its efficiency.

The unit can be switched between "AUTO" and "MANUAL" at any time during operation.

AUTOMATIC IGNITION/OPERATION

Fig. 21:

Room Temperature Mode: This setting will produce

a room temperature of 70 degrees with the distribution blower

at medium speed.

This setting will produce medium heat with the

distribution blower on "low".

This setting will produce continuous maximum heat output

with the distribution blower at full speed.

Stove Temperature Mode

Igniter switch to "AUTO"

Room Temperature Mode

In "Room Temp Mode" heat output is controlled auto-

matically by the Room Sensing Probe. When the Room Sens-

ing Probe calls for heat, the stove will increase output. When

the Room Sensing Probe is getting close to the set tempera-

ture, the stove will begin to level off output and keep the fire

burning at just the right temperature to maintain that setting.

High output is determined by the feed rate setting.

This setting, generally on #2 (corn) or #4 (pellet), can be

increased if higher burn rates are necessary.

When burning corn the feed rate setting can be ad-

justed anywhere within the yellow range with a #3 setting

being the maximum setting, #1 the lowest setting. This set-

ting will vary depending on the quality of corn used.

When burning pellets the feed rate setting can be

adjusted within the full range between #1 on the low side to

#6 on the high side.

Overfeeding is not a safety concern, but the fire may

be pushed off the burnpot and extinguish in the ash pan.

In "Room Temp Mode" a constant fuel consumption rate

is sacrificed for exact room temperature. Therefore, as it gets

colder more fuel will be burned automatically.

The distribution blower speed will vary according to the

position of the mode selector pointer, and fire size.

Igniter switch to "AUTO"

Stove Temperature Mode

This allows for automatic ignition upon start-up only.

The unit can then be set at any desired setting. The heat

output and fuel consumption will remain constant regardless

of room temperature.

The unit's low burn or maintenance setting is as low as it

will go. It will not go out unless it runs out of fuel or is turned off.

Shut-Down Procedure

To kill the fire or stop burning the stove, turn the Mode

Selector to "OFF". This will cause the fire to diminish and

burn out. When the fire burns out and the stove cools down

everything will stop. NOTE: The combustion blower

motor will run for 5 hours after the stove is completely

cool. This insures that all fuel in the burnpot and ashes

located in the ash pan are completely cold before shut

down of the combustion motor.

If you pull the plug to shut down the stove, all motors will

stop. This may cause incomplete combustion and smoke in

the firebox. If the load door is opened the smoke may es-

cape.

The best way to shut down the stove is simply let it run

out of fuel, then the stove will shut down automatically.

Make sure the unit is plugged into a 120 VAC, 60 HZ

electrical source. The power light should be the only

light lit. Anytime there is interruption in power at the

receptacle, the combustion blower will run for 1

minute after the power is regained.

1.Turn the Mode Selector to "OFF"

2. Fill the hopper with corn or pellets.

3. Clean the burn pot and housing, if necessary.

4. If starting after an empty hopper, turn the feed

adjuster to "TEST" until the fuel is visible in the auger

tube opening. This also allows you to check the

motors for operation.

NOTE: The auger motor will not operate with the

view door or ash door open.

NOTE: The initial start-up on a new stove may require

the corn to be purged into the burnpot area before

continuing to step 5.

5. Turn the feed adjuster to #2 (corn) or #4 (pellet)

6. Flip the igniter switch up into the "AUTO" position.

7. Turn the temperature dial to the desired room

temperature.

8. Turn the mode selector dial to Room Temperature

or Stove Temperature.

9. Fill the hopper with corn or pellets and remove the

ashes as required.

Warning

Fig. 23

15PC 45 Corn/Pellet Stove

The PC45 Corn/Pellet Stove is capable of manual operation. This also allows the op-

erator to manually control operation during an emergency (i.e. ignitor failure, when using a

502H battery backup, or when using certain generators.)

The unit can be switched between "AUTO" and "MANUAL" at any time during operation.

NOTE: When starting the unit in the "AUTO" mode and switching to "MANUAL",

the fire must be large enough to turn the ignitor light off (located on the control

board). This is a signal that the start cycle is completed and the fire will not go out.

MANUAL IGNITION/OPERATION

Manual Stove Temperature Mode

Fig. 24: Room Temperature Mode: This setting will produce a

room temperature of 70 degrees with the distribution blower

at medium speed.

Igniter Switch to "MANUAL"

Room Temperature Mode

The fire will have to be lit with starting gel and a

match, or started automatically, see "Automatic Op-

eration". Turn to "Manual" position when the fire is es-

tablished.

The difference between "AUTO" Room Tempera-

ture Mode and "Manual" Room Temperature Mode is

that the fire will not go out as the room temperature

goes above the control board setting. The unit can only

go to low burn and will remain there until it runs out of

fuel or until more heat is needed and the feed rate in-

creases. Feed rate adjustments and dial settings are

the same as "AUTO" settings.

Igniter Switch to "MANUAL"

Stove Temperature Mode

The advantage of this mode is to allow the opera-

tor to have a large viewing fire without blowing extra

heat into the room.

During operation, with the temperature dial set at

#5 or less, the distribution fan will not operate. A #5 on

the temperature dial and a #5 on the feed adjuster is

approximately 80% output. It is not necessary to oper-

ate the distribution blower below this point. Therefore,

there can be a higher feed rate ( a larger viewing fire)

without an excess of hot air blowing into the room.

An example of when to use the Manual Stove Tem-

perature Mode is if you want to watch a large fire and

the room is already up to temperature. The Stove Tem-

perature Mode allows you to have a larger fire and a

lower sound level, without the distribution blower.

NOTE: During the use of this mode, if you

keep increasing the temperature dial setting to in-

crease the fire size, the distribution blower will au-

tomatically come on when the ESP Temperature

reaches 350

F, or 81% output.

Fig. 25: This setting will produce a large viewing fire without a

distribution blower operating.

These units are pre-tested at the factory with

exactly 120 Volts A.C., 60 Hz. They are checked and

adjusted for firebox tightness, gasket leakage, motor

operation and ignitor operation. The PC 45 is then

factory set at a mid-point adjustment and in most

cases will not need any adjustments. NOTE: The

factory low draft setting may not be correct for

the units permanent installation conditions.

The control board on the PC45 is equipped

with a low draft adjustment port. Located on the

control face just to the right of the igniter light. This

voltage adjustment is provided to allow the unit to be

adjusted for the household voltage where the unit is

going to be in permanent operation. NOTE: The line

voltage varies from area to area and often home to

home.

The low draft voltage should be adjusted to

achieve the most efficient burn on low burn or

"maintenance". This voltage adjustment allows the

installer to change the low voltage set point

approximately 10 volts. This adjustment should be

done by the installer during set up because a draft

meter reading is required to insure proper set up.

If the unit is not adjusted properly, it does not

cause a safety concern. If the unit is adjusted too

high, only effiency is lost. If the unit is adjusted too

low, the low draft pressure switch will not allow the

feeder motor or the igniter to operate.

A simple draft test should be performed after

completing the flue pipe installation. To record the

results for future reference:

1. Plug unit into a 120VAC, 60 HZ outlet.

2. Close the hopper lid, front view door, and the ash

pan access door. Neither fuel or a fire are required

for this test.

3. With the mode selector in the "OFF" position,

turn the feed adjuster to "TEST".

4. Record the high draft_____in W.C. (Normal is

-.35 to -.55) The control will be on the High Draft for

a total of 2 minutes.

5. After 2 minutes is up, the combustion motor will

go down to low draft and the distribution blower will

go on high. Allow approximately 15 seconds to pass

for the combustion motor to slow before checking

the low draft.

6. If the low draft is between -.25 and -.35, record

the reading _____ in W.C. If the reading is higher,

slowly turn the set screw counter-clockwise until the

draft lowers. If the reading is lower, very slowly turn

the set screw clockwise until the draft increases.

NOTE: The test mode alternates from high to

low draft every 60 seconds. If more time is

needed for draft adjustment, wait until the next

low draft cycle.

NOTE: In some cases, the draft may not go as

low as -.25 to -.35 even with the set screw

completely counter-clockwise. This is not a

problem.

Removing Ashes:

The frequency in which you will need to empty

the ash pan will vary depending on the conditions

that the stove has been operating in. For example: A

stove burning on high continuously will probably need

the ashes removed every 1 to 2 days, whereas a

stove burning on low or cycling off periodically may

be able to go 3 to 8 days or longer.

Ashes should be placed in a metal con-

tainer with a tight fitting lid. The closed con-

tainer of ashes should be placed on a noncom-

bustible floor or on the ground, well away from

all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

If ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or oth-

erwise locally dispersed, they should be re-

tained in the closed container until all cinders

have thoroughly cooled.

It is recommended that the stove is cold and

shut down when removing ash pan.

1. Pull up on the latch handle to swing the ash pan

access door out and to the right.

2. Use the ash pan handle to carry and dispose of

ashes.

3. Slide the ash pan back into the stove.

Cleaning:

If you have been burning corn, the stove will

need to be cleaned approximately once a month.

The amount of corn burned and the frequency of

these cleanings will vary depending on the quality of

the corn used.

If you have been burning pellets, the stove will

need to be cleaned approximately every 2 to 3

months. The amount of pellets burned and the fre-

quency of these cleanings will vary depending on

the quality of the pellets used.

1. Shut down stove and disconnect power cord

to insure that all motors are stopped.

2. Clean the heat exchanger with the scraper as

shown if Fig. 32.

3. Brush or scrape the inside walls of the stove to

remove fly ash.

4. Remove the burn pot for cleaning by:

• Lift up and remove the front plate lock & front plate.

• Remove the auger extension (corn burnpot only).

• Remove the burnpot grate.

• Clean all fines and debris.

• Reinstall in reverse order.

NOTE: See burnpot maintenance section for

a more detailed description on burnpot maintenance

and cleaning.

5. Remove the ash pan.

6. Remove the combustion blower cover by turning

the blower cover latch vertical as shown in fig. 32.

Slide the cover out of the slot on the left. This will

expose the combustion blower wheel and flue outlet,

fig. 35.

7. Clean the blower wheel with a brush and a vacuum

cleaner.

8. Use a brush to clean the flue, being careful not to

damage the ESP probe. The flue goes straight

through into the vent pipe therefore, the vent pipe

can also be cleaned to some extent through the flue

outlet.

9. Reinstall the blower cover and relatch.

10. Slide ash pan into the stove and latch into place.

Cleaning of Feeder Fines Area

1. Remove the rear shields to access the feeder

cover.

2. Remove the wing nut on the feeder cover and

slide the cover off the threaded rod.

3. Remove all fines with a vacuum.

Soot and Fly Ash

The products of combustion will contain small

particles of fly ash. The fly ash will collect in the

exhaust venting system and restrict the flow of the

flue gases. Incomplete combustion, such as oc-

curs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect opera-

tion of the room heater, will lead to some soot for-

mation which will collect in the exhaust venting sys-

tem. The exhaust venting system should be in-

spected after the first month of burning to determine

the frequency of cleaning that will be required. NOTE:

The frequency could vary from once a month to once

a season depending on the quality of the fuel being

used.
